Default Another 3 amigos problem!!!

Ok I replace the front caliper and pads and rotors all the way around. When I started up the vehicle I had three amigos. I don't have the Hawkeye so I don't know what to do. I had one rear rotor that was stuck on so I beat it off with a 16 oz hammer. Think I could have upset a sensor? I also left the calipers off long enough the brake fluid quit dripping. Think by draining the system I could have caused this? If I fix the problem will it go away?

The engine dtc is p1590 Unknown.

only way is to pull the code. You need an ABS amigo or hawkeye. I have ABS amigo and rent it cheap.

I may have to rent the abs amigos. I have a spare parts rover I know everything worked fine on so I can change stuff first. I replaced each wheel sensor with a known good one and still had the three amigos. I can't help but think when I replaced the front calipers I let the brake fluid drip from the front until it stopped dripping. Does anyone know if this can cause the three amigos? Of course I filed the reservoir up and rebled the brakes.

If I replace the slabs computer with another good one and the problem is resolved will the three amigos go away?

Ok my problem must have been a hard code that was stored from letting all the brake fluid drain out so anyone looking at this thread don't let your brake fluid get to low. I changed my slabs computer with another one from my parts rover and the three amigos went away.

I have swapped every part from one rover to another including interior, motor, Trans, tcase, windows, doors, you name it I've changed it. I've had just about every problem these land rovers have and had to figure it out. I've learned a lot and my thoughts are these land rovers are a rolling death trap with any numerous amounts of problems that will cause you to age, cuss, make you swear you will sell it and even cause family feuds because you spend so much time working on it. There still is something about them you just can't help but love.

You may want to put your location in your profile, so if someone is in your area, they may drop by and help you out and read the codes for you
